It turns out what Aria thought was discreet had been so blatantly and simply exposed by him."Do you know why I didn't reveal it earlier? Because it didn't bother me much. You were so eager to act in front of me, so I thought I should let you earn some hard-earned money, right?" he said casually.She looked stunned, and her face turned red. It felt as if someone had slapped her face several times. It was both hurtful and embarrassing."However, some people go overboard with their acting, thinking too highly of themselves," Lucas's expression darkened as he took the expensive watch off Aria's wrist and played with it. "I can bring you up, but it doesn't mean you can act recklessly. Otherwise, I can lift you as high as I want and make you fall just as miserably."As he finished speaking, he released his grip, and the watch fell heavily to the ground, forming fine cracks on its surface.Aria gasped and tensed, clearly frightened by the man's words and actions."Also, you don't need

Even though tonight's banquet had some top-tier celebrities in attendance, Jackson was in no way inferior to those A-list actors. In fact, his presence was even more captivating. Despite possessing a beautiful face, it was his enchanting eyes, known in the journalist circle for their alluring charm, that truly stole the show. It was indescribably enchanting when he gazed at someone with those alluring eyes with a twinkle in them, accompanied by a faint hint of a smile on his lips. Regardless of gender, anyone would be drawn to him.However, when those eyes turned cold, they exuded an inexplicable sense of pressure.At this moment, Jackson had his eyes partially closed, surrounded by his bodyguards and the venue's security personnel.

Jackson glanced at Caleb in disdain, and Caleb overheard a socialite nearby muttering, "Wow, he even looks good when he rolls his eyes!"Caleb was speechless at that and had an urge to throw up. Jackson had merely rolled his eyes and these infatuated girls were making a big deal out of it?!Just as Jackson removed his gloves, Caleb suddenly discovered something. He quickly snatched the gloves from Jackson's hand."Huh... these gloves seem to be hand-knitted, but the craftsmanship isn't that great," Caleb commented with a puzzled expression. "And the yarn, it looks like old yarn. Did some store scam you by selling you such gloves?""Who said I bought them?" Jackson replied nonchalantly.Caleb's jaw dropped in disbelief. If he hadn’t bought them, then was it possible... "Did someone knit them and give them to you?"Jackson didn't answer, but his expression confirmed it.Caleb felt his head spinning from the information. Someone had given them to Jackson? Considering Jackson's pe

Caleb was joking when he made the remark. He had grown accustomed to his friend changing girlfriends, and it would be a real surprise if Lucas went a prolonged period without doing so. But if Lucas were to replace his current little star, it would be the shortest relationship he had ever had."Well, I suppose you could say that," Lucas calmly replied, his gaze still locked with Jackson's.Caleb didn't think much of it, but suddenly, Jackson's face darkened, and even the air around them seemed to grow cold and heavy."Hey, Jackson, what's wrong? Why the serious face?" Caleb asked, puzzled by the inexplicable and eerie atmosphere.Jackson ignored Caleb. His inky dark eyes were fixed on Lucas, and the corner of his lips quirked up."That extra, was she your girlfriend's sister?""Yes. Quite a coincidence, isn't it?" Lucas said.Jackson's smile grew wider, but his eyes remained icy cold. "Yes, what a coincidence indeed."After uttering those words, he turned around and walked towar

Jackson!On the screen, Jackson was dressed in a black suit. He stood tall with a neat hairstyle, looking like a noble and elegant gentleman. The only thing that seemed out of place was the scarf around his neck and matching gloves on his hands, which seemed completely mismatched with the suit.Netizens were already discussing and flooding the screen with comments inside the live stream chat.[Who's that?][He doesn't seem like a celebrity, but he's so handsome! Oh my, I would gladly kneel before his suit pants.][Oh my gosh, is this person really not a celebrity?! If he debuts, I'll be his number-one fan!][Quick, go and interview him! Talk to him! I can't wait!]The internet celebrity smiled brightly at the camera and said, "Let's go and interview him, then. Hopefully, this gentleman will agree t

There were even speculations that Jackson Valor had an argument with someone at the banquet and left in anger. There were also speculations that Jackson Valor was annoyed at being pestered by all the female socialites there, so he left early.In short, there were all kinds of speculations.Serenity read all this like she was reading normal gossip. She also wondered what made Jackson leave so suddenly.There was a knock on the door. Serenity got up to open it and, upon seeing the person standing outside, almost choked."*Cough*... *cough*..." She coughed, her face turning red.Who would have thought that the person whose whereabouts the netizens had been discussing the whole day would suddenly appear outside her door?Jackson frowned and patted Serenity's back to help her get her breath back. "Why are you coughing so hard? Did you catch a cold?"She shook her head and kept coughing. No, she did not catch a cold; she choked because she was shocked at his sudden appearance.When S

Earlier in the evening, his mood turned sour at the thought of her getting bullied on the set. He was anxious to see her.Now that he had seen her, his mood became even worse!Jackson flicked the swelling on her forehead."Ouch!" Serenity could not help crying out in pain.He scoffed. "You can feel pain?"Of course she could feel pain! She's not made of stone! How could she not feel pain when he flicked her with his finger?! Especially since he was flicking her where she was injured!She glared at him.He was so mad that he laughed. "Well done, Serenity Lewis. Well done. You refused to stay by my side without even giving it a second thought, so I thought you must have a lot of backbone and dignity. But then, what happened? You became an extra and was forced to repeatedly kneel and kowtow to your sister. Was that fun?"She bit her lip and subconsciously took a step back. Right now, he felt scary to her for some reason.But every time she took a step back, he would take a step f

"Are you saying that I scare you?" he asked.She hesitated slightly before replying, "I know that you're just treating me as an object in a game. You still maintain interest in me because the novelty hasn't worn off, but once your interest fades, I'll become worthless to you. If I accidentally piss you off, I might end up getting tormented again like I did back in prison."She never wanted to go through that kind of miserable experience again!"Surely saying all these things to me wouldn't piss me off, right?" he questioned.Her body stiffened. Of course she was afraid that it would, but she still chose to say them.Her reaction told him everything he needed to know.Silence enclosed around them. It was a scary silence.Serenity lowered her head. The only thing she could hear right now was her own breathing and heartbeat. Jackson did not say anything, but she could feel his eyes on her.She had no idea how much time had passed when she finally heard him say, "What if I tell you
